With Grand River closed from Farmington Road east to Grove Street, and the Farmington Farmers and Artisans Market in full swing, you’ll have trouble finding a spot close to the festival grounds. If you can’t walk or bike, your best bets for parking are:

The Village Commons shopping center lot. Available on Saturday for market-goers, it’s located on the north side of Grand River and a block and a half east of Riley Park

Public lot at the Masonic Hall, on Farmington Road just north of Grand River
